ON recent Sunday Mr.. STURGEON re-
ferred to charges which he has made
against ministers of being theologicallv
and spiritually on the down grade. De-
sorting his conversion, he said he had
clutched at the vicarious atonemept Of
Christ, believing it to be his last hone.
Did any one of them wonder that he
should fight for it ? The vicarious atone.
ment was everything to him, more than
wife or children, for without it he was a
damned man
HE Methodists of London have hired
st. James Hall for year, and intend to
hold religious services in it that will be az
interesting and attractive as the average
theater. The finest orchestral band in
London Is to be secured; first class pop
ular concerts will be given every Satur-
DAY evening, and a sacred concert will be
given on Sunday afternoons. Eminent
preachers will be secured for the Sunday
services, and every legitimate means will
be taken to advertise and popularize the
meetings. Applied Christianity, and not
theological system, will be inculcated
by all the preachers.

suffering of the wicked. MY whole
soul revolts against it. It is the

and bring them to me, as it is that it will
bring to me Immortality, Page 21e.
" Every principle must be revolutionized

and affections. and ideas, and laws, or the
awakening in the next world will be amid
the welcomes and loves, and raptures of

THE Dallas Times does't like the theol-
ogy of the cowboy evangelist who is
preaching in Texas, and takes them to
task for saying that shell is full of Camp
bellites and Methodists." 1t says: "Come
out OF that, cowboyl Come up out of the
depths OF such barbarisml Preach good
will; preach love; preach hope Put away
the instruments of torture; fill up your
awful chasm of ever-burning fire Hush
the sbrieks of lost souls, and lullaby into
quiet the means of the damnedl Preach
heaven; preach that there is place where
preachers, cowboys, Complexities, Meth
odists, Baptists, all may reach if the great
and pleasant road Of justice and love and
fair play to man is allowed here on EARTH"
STARR KING" says the reviewer of his
sermons in the Boston. transcript, event
about ministering by word and deed, to
the wants of humanity. Nature gave
him generous equipment. But the devo-
ton of those gifts to the high and noble
ends he ever sought to realize was his
own act. The first thought and impulse
OF his life was not professional; he did
not say to himself, st am clergyman,
therefore must do certain things;" rsth-
er did he feel his inspiration and see his
duty as man, seeking mankind's good.
From such source come zeal, intelli.
gence, progress. 70 such leader all
things are made for man; ceremonies,
doctrines, creeds, Sabbaths, churches, re-
hglon. All subjects are alive with inter-
est, and the arbitrary lines between NOR
allty and religion, secular and religious
and death, are changed"
Rev. ANDREW P. PEABODY, D. D., de-
livered recently the first of series of
talks to Sunday. school teachers, in Chan
ming Hall, Boston. His subject was GLOW
to teach the Old Testament" ut was
not the province of the pulpit" he said
"to teach or encourage doubts, for they
could at best but hinder, while it was be-
liefs that helped men. All that we be-
ieve we ought to teach, but no more. On
careful study, the Old Testament will be
found to contain much that IS profitable
for instruction in righteousness. In it
can be traced the law of development in
thes spiritual world, showing that Jesus
came in the fullness of time and to a peo-
pie prepared to receive him." In closing,
he advised teachers to compare in their
instruction the Old and New Testaments,
impressing the necessity of Christ's COM
ing and the gradual unfolding from age
to age of the plan of salvation.
